March 24: National Day of Memory for truth and justice
Today is the day in Argentina to commemorate the victims of the last military dictatorship, self-styled "National Reorganization Process", which usurped the government of the Argentine national state between March 24, 1976 and December 10, 1983. The date highlights the importance of democratic continuity, which in 2023 will be 40 years old.
April 1977, when 14 women gathered for the first time in front of the Casa Rosada to demand information about their sons and daughters who had been kidnapped. They are remembered to this day as the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo.
In times of cloth diapers, the mothers kept the ones their now disappeared children had worn and decided that they would wear them on their heads to recognize themselves in the crowd, becoming their national symbol.
With the restoration of democracy, in December 1983, President Raúl Alfonsín issued the Decree that would later trigger the well-known "THE JUNTAS TRIAL"
This was the first condemnation of State terrorism in Argentina, at the level of the Nuremberg trials, setting a precedent in the continent in view of the horrors experienced.
This is a recent history in the country, our FATHERS, MEN OF 60 YEARS OF AGE went through it, their generation includes the thousands of people who are with us and carry the physical and mental torture of what they suffered.
There are many movies that deal with the themes of these dates:
La noche de los lapices (1986)
La historia oficial (1985) (With an Oscar)
Buenos Aires viceversa (1996)
Argentina 1985 (2022) (With an Oscar nomination)
For those who are here and those who are no longer here, we ask for memory, truth and justice.
